Am i the only one or is she overreacting?

Question

Ok today my grandma got in the phone bill and saw that i was on the internet. Im not supposed to be but i was. Our bill is normally 250 and this month it was 260.78 and she flipped out on me! She was yelling and cussing me out! She knew i was crying and threatened to turn my phone off. It was a measley 10.78 and my mom was like shes not overreacting! Am i the only one that thinks she is

Answer 1

She overreacted quite a bit, but it was your fault to begin with. I think you should call your grandma up and apologize and offer to pay the extra $10.78. If she doesn't apologize as well...that's slightly rude, but it's the only thing you can really do...

Answer 2

Ok I think she overreacted just a little, but I think you should both sit down and dicuss the future payment of the phone bill.  If it goes over then you'll be willing to pay it.  Just tell her that she made you upset, and that in the future you'll try to be more careful to not go overboard.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

i think she is not overreacting....may be she dosn't have enof $[mony] to pay that much....

Answer 4

She over acted a little bit.. But Honestly.. If You Werent Supposed To Be On the Computer.. Then I Would Of Done The Same thing.. I Would Make You Pay The Extra Charge

Answer 5

Its best to have your own line that way you know what you used...

Answer 6

She did overreact a bit.  She shouldn't have raised her voice and definitely shouldn't have cursed at you.  That being said, its not about the $11.  Its about the fact that you were on the internet when you know you aren't suppose to be.  Instead of yelling and cursing, she should have just grounded you or given some other form of punishment.  You obviously didn't learn your lesson because you're on the internet again.  Its very simple to just follow the rules and stay out of trouble.  Get off the internet, apologize to your grandmother and offer to pay the difference in the bill.  You mine as well warn her that the bill is going to be high again this month because you're still using the internet.

Answer 7

...are you supposed to be on the internet now??

Grow up and help out. If you're right that your phone bill is $250 a month, your family is not handling money well at all and is probably under a lot of financial pressure. Figure out a way to make some money and pitch in- I know it's not easy to do, but don't think for a second that it will get any easier when you are older, or that it is easier for the adults in your life to make money than it is for you. That's why we call it "work".

Answer 8

she didnt overreact because thats a pretty high bill already!!

Answer 9

She definitely overreacted particularly if you offered to pay.

Answer 10

yes, it was only almost 11 dollars.

But you broke the rules.

AND.

You don't pay for it, you don't get a say in it.

If you had to pay 261$ for a phone you'd be upset too, that's a lot of money.

Answer 11

yeah i think she overreacted a bit. but since it was ur fault it was a bit more i think you should pay for it.

Answer 12

Well you shouldn't have been on it if she told you not to, but 10 dollars is really nothing.  Once my cell bill was $900, no joke.  It's normall around $300 because 2 other people are on the plan, but the bill showed that the extra money was from my number.  Not too sure how that happened... I just gave my Dad $100 that I'd been saving and said I was sorry.  She's definitely overreacting.  Just don't do it again lol.
